In 1881 Shutlanger parish's total population was 403. In 1901 it was 339 and by 1971 it had dropped to 233.[1] At the time of the 2001 census, it was 270 people.[2]
There was a great medieval house here called the Monastery, but it was just a house and not a monastery in the normal sense.[3] The village is close to Stoke Park Pavilions and originally part of the Stoke Park estate with the first Palladian-style English country house.The building is a Grade I listed Building.[4]
